Summer flagship exhibition ILLUSION | Science Gallery
•Application Deadline

01.04.2013

Calling all creative conjurers, optical illusionists, whizzards and mathemagicians, Science Gallery is seeking proposals for projects for our upcoming summer flagship exhibition ILLUSION.

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
Albert Einstein

Curated by Richard Wiseman, Prof of Public Understanding of Psychology at University of Hertfordshire where he researches an eclectic range of topics including luck, self-help, illusion and persuasion, ILLUSION is a curated, open call exhibition exploring the motivations and mechanisms of sensory deception. What we perceive is often radically different from the reality of what our eyes observe. For example, the classic coin disappearing magic trick exploits this through a phenomenon known as retention vanish. A lag in the brain's perception of motion causes a viewer to see a coin in the left hand for a few seconds after it is no longer there. This after image is because the visual neurons are still firing and our perception of reality lags about one hundredth of a second behind behind actual reality.

Read more

We’re interested in receiving proposals on a wide variety of topics including:

Visual illusions and illusions based on colour
Close up magic/ illusions that could be delivered by Science Gallery mediators
Illusions involving sense of taste, touch and hearing
Illusions that occur around the city – park railing, city trains and buses
Illusions that involve performances – magicians, street performers etc
Illusion of the passage of time
Mass participation experiments that involve some kind of illusion
Illusion through technology – virtual reality goggles or gloves that cause you to perceive something that is not there
Exhibits/ works that are based on classic illusions such as Camera Obscura and Ames room
Social and cultural perception or illusion – experiments or exhibits that illustrate our tendency towards stereotypes and bias based on what we see
Workshop ideas that enable visitors to create their own illusions to take away after their visit
Illusions that rely on distraction and manipulation of the attention of the viewer

The focus is on exploration, defining and interpreting the terrain where art is produced, presented and communicated – as well as on the inevitable disillusionment that occasionally arises, and the subsequent re-enchantment. Students will be given assistance in discovering their own artistic cosmos and creating scope for development. The 21 courses, of between one and four weeks, are held in three locations: Hohensalzburg Fortress, the old salt factory (Alte Saline) in Hallein and the Kiefer quarry in Fürstenbrunn.

G.A.S. - station Berlin : open call for contributions
•Application Deadline

12.04.2013

The striving for perfection is generally viewed in a positive light. Yet what is perfectness? Is it the attainment of complete congruence between the mental concept of an ideal and its actual implementation? In the discipline of mathematics, perfectness is attainable – e.g. in the requirement of conformity between a set and its derivative. Yet can there also be “perfectness” in any other sense? Which ideal conceptions are concealed behind different kinds of perfectionsim? Does the urge for perfection – and for the avoidance of mistakes associated with it – also have an effect on society and the human psyche that needs to be critically examined?

http://www.2gas-station.net/pages/engl/applformengl.html

The concept of G.A.S-station is a research project on the development and exploitation of artistic and scientific aspects and also a platform to develop and test new forms of art presentation, mediation and publication. The projects we initiate annually are designed on specific topics as well as cross-divisional.

Long term support for independent visual arts organisations focusing on collaborative arts practices and social innovation / Africa, Asia, or Latin-America
•Application Deadline

15.04.2013

Rationale of Call
Culture is a potential driving force or trigger in processes of social innovation.
In current contemporary arts practice the role of artists and arts’ organisations as agents of change is getting more recognized. Artistic practice is further developing and increasingly focuses on researching and addressing societal issues, facilitating relationships and the development of new perspectives. At the same time, and linked to the above, organisational philosophies are changing in and outside the art world. There is an increased development of horizontal platforms and network-organisations that take a more collaborative stand or define themselves as ‘relational’.

“Exuberant Politics” is issuing a call for film/video programmers, activist archivists, and DIY curators to propose 70-90 minute programs of moving image work featuring exuberant, vivacious, and creative responses to historical and contemporary political issues.

Proposed programs could map a historical arc or be based around specific topics, like “exuberant pacifism,” or “rocking reproductive righteousness.” We are particularly interested in proposals that combine projects by politically-engaged artists’ with creative activism undertaken by people who do not identify as artists. Programs may include performance or protest actions documented by video, as well as work taking film/video as its primary medium.

A total of three programs will be selected to screen at the University of Iowa in Fall 2013, with potential for additional screenings to be arranged in consultation with programmers and artists. Selected programmers will receive a $250 honorarium and up to $400 for screening fees.

“Exuberant Politics” is a yearlong series of programs organized by University of Iowa faculty and Iowa City artists and arts organizations. The “Exuberant Politics” film series is funded by the University of Iowa Museum of Art.

Proposals should include a 250 word description of the program, a tentative list of works (with short synopses and runtimes), and a 250 word narrative bio of the programmer. Send to exuberantpolitics@gmail.com by April 21, 2013. Submissions will be reviewed, selected, and notified by May 5.

THHEEE FESTIVAL FOR CONCEPTUAL / NON-EXPRESSIVE / NON-DRAMATIC ACTIONS AND INTERVENTIONS
DURING THE MONTH OF PERFORMANCE ART BERLIN

AFTER WORK | ART ON THE UNDERGROUND | BERLIN
•Application Deadline

24.04.2013

The aim of the announcement of “Nach der Arbeit (After work)”, this year’s open international competition as part of the “Kunst im Untergrund (Art underground)” project, is the artistic treatment of underground railway stations in Berlin. The competition investigates the artistic communication and intervention potential of the medium of posters that are to be installed on the poster panels (on the walls behind the railway tracks) in certain underground stations. The competition makes reference to the beginnings of the artistic poster competitions that transformed the Alexanderplatz underground station into an exhibition space with poster installations from the 1950s onwards (see http://ngbk.de/alexanderplatz/home.html).
In contrast with these historical competitions, the radius within the city and the underground network will be significantly expanded with the present project and dedicated artistic works will be sought that are both location-specific and context-specific.

Call for proposals for an open art competition
Task: Installation of poster-form art in an underground station in Berlin. Idea: Connection with the location (the underground station or its surroundings). Additionally: underground rail, railway station, transport, mobility etc., as well as an underground station as a site for interventions. Medium: Posters on the walls behind the tracks. Project result: 15 project realisations at 15 Berlin underground stations in two phases in 2013.

Submissions: By 24 April 2013

Looking for a Mirror
•Application Deadline

30.04.2013

Looking for a Mirror will be revolving around a generation that perceives itself through the iconography created by Nan Goldin. It scarcely requires to be said that her people have been our people and her god our god since the 1970s. Her visual tropes have become our daily bread and inalienable from the way we experience life and lovers and sofas and cigarettes, and at Convulsion we believe that an independently produced photography book would furnish an adorable survey of how we ended up arriving at this point.

This year the charitable association LOCALIZE e.V. will – for the sixth time already – take possession of a forgotten and inaccessible building and area for a short period of time to revive it with contemporary art and a diverse program. Installations and debates, concerts and bars, films and performances re-enact an environment and create a place for encounters and open exchange.

LOCALIZE acts on the edge between institutional high culture and science,
as well as Potsdam‘s off-culture and unites actors and visitors of this wide range.

The game, a metaphor for society, allows us to question daily witting and unwitting decisions.

Different party gamers, creative artists, partners and guests are invited to enrich the game, pursue various rules or to get into the flow of play when “Bahnhof Pirschheide” in Potsdam‘s west is being approached in June 2013.
